mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the

prophesy, and do not
forbid speaking in tongues.

beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of
Achaia, and that they have
addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

urge you,
brothers,

brothers here send you greetings.
Greet one another with a holy
kiss.

insomuch that we

endure, so that we
despaired even of life.

enquire of

partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

Titus, he is my
partner and fellow worker among you. As for our
brothers, they are messengers of the churches, to the glory of Christ.
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our
boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
But I am sending the
brothers in order that our
boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
Therefore I thought it necessary to
exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up
beforehand your
bounty,
whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of
bounty, and not as of
covetousness.
So I thought it necessary to
urge the
brothers to visit you
beforehand and make arrangements for the
bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from
Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being
burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to
anyone; for the
brothers who came from
Macedonia supplied my needs. I have
refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from
bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false
brothers,
Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Finally,
brothers,
rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony,
encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of
Galatia:
and all the
brothers with me, To the churches of
Galatia:

certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For I
certify to you,
brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in
privily to
spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into
bondage:
This issue arose because some false
brothers had come in under false pretenses to
spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to
enslave us.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto.
Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is
ratified, cannot be
canceled or
amended.
Brethren, I
beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
I
beg you,
brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
